Searchable Drop Down List Stops Working

Question

Hi,

I,m presently using the desktop version of office365 and over the past month I was able to utilize the new searchable feature with a drop down list. Just about 2 days ago it appears that the feature is not working anymore and its making life very difficult for me. Can anyone help with this issue?

Answer 1

Hello Anna,

Thanks for the response. Can you advise how I can get the functionality back on my worksheet? or are there any work arounds you can suggest to fix the issue? A main feature of my worksheet is the searchable list.

Hi

I'm AnnaThomas and I'd happily help you with your question. In this Forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

It seems that you are not alone in experiencing this issue with the searchable drop-down list feature in Office 365. It appears that the feature is being gradually deployed and could be pulled out at any time.

This means that some users may have access to the feature while others do not. You can leave a feedback about this

I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions.

Best Regards,
